Computing and the Creative Arts

This degree plan is intended for students with interests and abilities
in both Computing and at least one of the creative-arts disciplines
at Queen's: Art, Drama, Film and Media, and Music. The plan aims to allow you
to use your creativity and scientific knowledge to make full use
of
state-of-the-art new-media software development/production technologies
and to develop the technologies and computing applications of the future.

In your second year, you will take the
Introduction to Computing and the Creative Arts
course (COCA-201)
to get an overview of how
Computing applications are currently impacting various arts-related
fields, including new-media art, electronic music, applications in art
preservation and analysis, computer animation, computer applications in
theatre and dance, industrial and architectural design, and computer
games.
You'll also begin taking core courses in Computing and in your
Arts option.

After satisfying the core-course requirements in Computing and in your
Arts subplan, you will complete the core degree requirements by choosing from a
variety of available advanced courses in those subjects. For example,
in Computing, you can select from
Fundamentals of Web Applications (CISC-P82),
or any CISC courses at the 300 level or above, including at least 3.0 units at the 400 level.

For information on requirements and descriptions of advanced courses available in the four Arts subjects, consult
the Arts and Science Calendar.

Finally, you will complete the degree requirements with 30.0 elective
units; these may be courses in other Arts subjects, additional
Computing courses, or any courses in Arts and Science
for which you have the prerequisites. Here are some of the courses that
you could choose to take as electives:
